The most significant achievements of Russian science in 2020 were listed on RIA Novosti’s website. The selected top of this publishing house includes the experimental proof of the CNO cycle in the Sun, the finding of the Borexino collaboration and DLNP researchers involved.
"Radio Blazars: Sources of Neutrinos from TeV to PeV" by Alexander Plavin
- Details
- Category: Seminars
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos have been collected by observatories such as IceCube for more than a decade. However, the sources of the majority of these particles remained unknown. Earlier this year we have connected origins of the highest energy neutrinos, above 200 TeV, to radio blazars. Now we expand our analysis to a much wider energy range utilizing public IceCube data that covers seven years. It turns out that IceCube detections directionally coincide with blazars that have bright radio cores on parsec scales.
"Monte Carlo Simulation of a Lithium Glass Scintillation Detector" by Ilya Zimin
- Details
- Category: Seminars
The Monte Carlo simulation of a thermal neutron scintillation detector based on NE 912 lithium glass was created and verified. The simulation was validated by comparing its result to experimental data from a prototype detector exposed to thermal neutron and gamma-quantum beams. The scintillator properties were determined: light yield for a captured thermal neutron, the quenching factor, and decay times.
"Physics World" announces its Breakthrough of the Year finalists for 2020
- Details
- Category: News
One of the highlights in the Physics World calendar is the announcement of their Breakthrough of the Year. Today ten finalists for 2020 have been revealed, from which the Breakthrough of the Year will be picked on Thursday 17 December.
This year’s Top 10 Breakthroughs were selected by a crack team of five Physics World editors, who have sifted through hundreds of research updates published on the website this year. In addition to having been reported in Physics World in 2020, the selections must meet the following criteria:
• Significant advance in knowledge or understanding.
• Importance of the work for scientific progress and/or development of real-world applications.
• Of general interest to Physics World readers.
«Study of Neutrino Properties with Nuclear Emulsion Detectors in CERN Experiments» by Sergey Dmitrievsky
- Details
- Category: Seminars
Studying neutrino properties is one of the hottest points in modern particle physics. A few years ago, CERN decided to concentrate on the LHC and to stop the accelerator neutrino programme. However, some new experiments were proposed recently at CERN aimed to study neutrinos in the regions where their properties are poorly known or unexplored.
Cooperation Meeting of the Baikal Collaboration
- Details
- Category: News
From 30 November to 3 December 2020, the online meeting of the BAIKAL-GVD collaboration was held. Within four days, more than 30 reports were presented where, among other topics, preparation of the upcoming expedition, manufacturing of optical and other modules, the current status of the telescope, operation of the system of GVD-2020 data acquisition and processing, and also event reconstruction algorithms were discussed.
